Turkey Tostadas

I tore this recipe out of a magazine, looks like maybe the Costco Connection one - made it for dinner last night and we loved it. Very very easy and quick which making it the perfect weeknight dinner. 

I followed the recipe exactly other than omitting the green onions because Dave doesn't like them and I was too lazy to chop them up for myself haha, I bought a 1 lb. package of ground turkey and a 1 oz. envelope of taco seasoning, halved cherry tomatoes, and topped with nacho cheese sauce - here's the recipe as written in the magazine:

  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 6 (6 inch) corn tortillas
  • 1 (1.7 lb.) package ground turkey
  • 2 oz. taco seasoning mix
  • 3/4 cup waater
  • 1 cup refried beans, heated
  • 1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and chopped
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded Mexicaan-blend cheese
  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded
  • 3 T. green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
Preheat oven to 350'. Spray both sides of tortillas with cooking spray. Place on a cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned. 

Meanwhile, brown turkey in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally; drain liquid. Stir in taco seasoning and water; cook according to package directions. 

Divide and spread heated beans evenly over baked tortillas. Cover beans with turkey mixture, avocado, tomato, cheese and lettuce. Top with green onions and sour cream.

Makes 6 servings.

Tip-sy Tuesday: Miniature Salami Rose Skewers

I took a screenshot of this idea (and not a very good screenshot, oh well) that I wanted to share - we love salami roses and this mini version sandwiched between 2 small mozzarella balls with some basil on a short skewer is so fun! Yes, it'll be a little more time consuming than just skewering a cube of salami or sausage, but how cute is this?

don't know where I found this so don't know who to credit. Probably someone on Pinterest!

Matching Tutu

After making the cute high chair tutu for Georgie's first birthday, Mickey thought a matching tutu for G to wear at her party would be fun. I literally made this in minutes using the same materials as for the high chair. Just like the fluffy peach tutu and the highchair tutus, I tied the tulle and ribbons on long ribbons to make it adjustable to Georgie's waist and then just tie on her with a big bow. 

For some reason I don't have a good picture of Georgie in this tutu, but here's a funny one of her mom modeling it hahahha. Turned out SO cute!!!!!

Spinach Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms - Buffy Blogs

My niece Macey sent me this recipe for stuffed mushrooms - I love that she's created her own blog category called 'Buffys Blog' (side note: Buffy is my nickname for her, as a child she looked like Buffy from Family Affair haha). This one looks and sounds great!

Here's the recipe in her words:


1. Clean mushrooms! Cut out the inside to make a "cup".

2. Using a basting brush, gently coat the mushrooms with oil and spices of your choice. I used salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.

3. Fill mushrooms "cups" with delicious goodness (AKA: bitchin' spinach dip that really is bitchin') and cheese (pepper jack for moi, but feel free to add whatever cheese preferred)

4. Bake at 425' for 10 mins.
